Answer:

Procurement

Step-by-step explanation:

Characteristics hardware lifecycle:

  • Procurement- Acquiring new IT hardware assets involves evaluating vendors, purchase orders, receiving, and device labeling.
  • Deployment - Hardware configuration and installment, placing hardware and software assets into production environments.
  • Maintenance & Support - Management of assets include scheduling scans and getting audit history.
  • Upgrade - Before you retire your IT hardware assets, you’ll reach a processing plateau that can be restored with hardware upgrades.
